El Pinar de San Gines:
The development is entirely backed by mountains & fronted by lovely mature villas in a quiet location away from any busy roads. It is made up of several phases with our properties being on phase 2. The properties are mainly in just two tiers joined only on corners, with one below & one above, in a convenient apartment-style layout . With beautiful gardens & paths winding in and out the community has the feel of a Spanish village with several people having made it their permanent home. There is a shared pool for use by just 34 properties & a popular bar/snack bar on site.
The local area:
A 5 minute stroll down quiet residential avenues brings you straight to the seafront in the exclusive San Gines area of La Azohia. The fishing village is still very traditional with a 2 mile long new promenade, lined with palms, which ends at the quaint marina where the fishermen bring in their tuna catches each day. There you can pick up a path to the top of Cabo Tinoso & to the Tower of St Helena, a look out originally built in the 16th century. There are a few restaurants in the village itself, a small shop, a chemist & a bodega (wine cellar), but La Azohia is essentially a place for relaxation by the sea - visited by divers from all over Spain for its crystal clear waters & colourful seabeds. Swimming is safe & there are watersports with showers along the beach & a snack bar. With more extensive facilities & all kinds of attractions readily available at nearby Isla Plana, Mazarron & the historic town of Cartagena, with your quiet haven to return to, you have the best of all worlds.
